Lattice Semiconductor Reports Second Quarter Results
October 14, 1996, 7:30 PM EDT
HILLSBORO, Ore., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: LSCC) today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended September 28, 1996. Revenue for the quarter was $48.6 million, flat with the revenue reported in the same quarter a year ago, and up slightly from last quarter's revenue of $48.2 million.
Net income for the quarter was $10.5 million, or $0.46 per share, an increase of seven percent from the $9.8 million ($0.49 per share) reported in the same quarter last year, and up slightly from last quarter's net income of $10.4 million ($0.46 per share).
Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, for the quarter was 58.9 percent, up 0.4 percentage points from the same quarter last year and up 0.1 percentage points from last quarter. Improvement in gross margin resulted mainly from a shift in product mix towards proprietary high-density in-system programmable (ISP(TM)) products and from successful ongoing cost reduction programs.
"We are encouraged that we were able to achieve these financial results in what has generally been a difficult period for the semiconductor industry," stated Cyrus Y. Tsui, president and chief executive officer. "Quarterly high-density ispLSI(R) product family revenue posted record revenues, growing 37 percent when compared to the same quarter last year and growing slightly on a sequential basis. Customer acceptance of our industry leading ISP(TM) products and design-in activity continue to be strong.
"We have observed some early signs that the inventory driven slow-down in our market may be coming to an end," Tsui continued. Bookings increased significantly during September and have continued at a similar pace as we begin the new quarter. However, we are still totally dependent on 'turns' orders to achieve near-term growth in business," Tsui concluded.
